The 1882 Theorie der algebraischen Functionen einer Veränderlichen by Dedekind (1831-1916) and Weber (1842-1913) changed the direction of algebraic geometry and established its foundations by introducing methods from algebraic number theory. They used rings and ideals to give rigorous proofs of results that had previously been obtained in non-rigorous fashion, with the help of analysis and topology. Stillwell (mathematics, U. of San Francisco) believes that the paper still has gems for modern mathematicians that the standard commentaries do not mention. He presents the first English translation of it and provides commentary to the language and thinking of mathematics during the 19th century.

Paperback. Zustand: New. This book is the first English translation of the classic long paper Theorie der algebraischen Functionen einer Veranderlichen (Theory of algebraic functions of one variable), published by Dedekind and Weber in 1882. The translation has been enriched by a Translator's Introduction that provides historical background, and extensive commentary embedded in the translation itself. The translation, introduction, and commentary provide the first easy access to this important paper for a wide mathematical audience: students, historians of mathematics, and professional mathematicians. Why is the Dedekind-Weber paper important? In the 1850s, Riemann initiated a revolution in algebraic geometry by interpreting algebraic curves as surfaces covering the sphere. He obtained deep and striking results in pure algebra by intuitive arguments about surfaces and their topology. However, Riemann's arguments were not rigorous, and they remained in limbo until 1882, when Dedekind and Weber put them on a sound foundation. The key to this breakthrough was to develop the theory of algebraic functions in analogy with Dedekind's theory of algebraic numbers, where the concept of ideal plays a central role. By introducing such concepts into the theory of algebraic curves, Dedekind and Weber paved the way for modern algebraic geometry. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9780821883303
